Description

At 0730 on 17 June, the 1st battalion again moved out in the attack with Hill 108 as its objective. During this advance, Lieutenant Colonel George, the Regimental Commander, was seriously wounded by an enemy hand grenade while leading a patrol against an enemy machine gun position. At 1045, the battalion was held up by heavy machine gun and machine pistol fire. An enemy counter-attack, launched against the right flank of the 1st battalion, was beaten off by the 2nd battalion. Meanwhile, the 3rd battalion was attacking South from Amy and captured the town of La Meauffe at 1100.
